We are relying on every individual to make a difference.

There are a number of benefits to joining and supporting Inclusive Australia.

Participation

If more people contribute to the economic life of the nation, it will lead to higher employment, better health and improved standards of living.

Connection

Contact between people from diverse groups typically reduces prejudice and anxiety towards others and increases empathy, creating more connected and vibrant communities.

Belonging

Increased contact and friendship with minority groups relates to greater feelings of connectedness, community and wellbeing.

Pride

Feelings of belonging and respect lead to pride in the Australian way of life and culture, which leads to better integration.

Equity

Adequate support for disadvantaged groups helps close the financial and education gaps, builds trust in institutions and provides opportunities for everyone.

Individuals can contribute in different ways

Involvement can include joining the movement, spreading the word and taking one or more of the challenges to change behaviour in your circles. Individuals can also join the alliance and be involved with:

financial support

leadership

knowledge sharing

collaboration and promotion

"This campaign is just a bunch of ordinary Aussies saying, hey how do we want the future to look? What kind of people are we as a nation? And what does it look like to help people belong?"
